In this study, a attenuated herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)-vectored vaccine was constructed to express three liver-stage (LS) malaria parasite exported proteins. Immunization with this vaccine in mice induced sterile protection against Plasmodium yoelii infection, suggesting its potential as a practical malaria vaccine for humans.
Here, we present the construction of an attenuated herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)-vectored vaccine, expressing three liver-stage (LS) malaria parasite exported proteins (EXP1, UIS3 and TMP21) as fusion proteins with the VP26 viral capsid protein. Intramuscular and subcutaneous immunizations of mice with a pooled vaccine, composed of the three attenuated virus strains expressing each LS antigen, induced sterile protection against the intravenous challenge of Plasmodium yoelii 17X-NL salivary gland sporozoites. Our data suggest that this malaria vaccine may be effective in preventing malaria parasite infection using practical routes of immunization in humans.
